Developed in collaboration with leading OEMs and training professionals, Simlog says its Wheel Loader Personal Simulator puts trainees at the controls of a modern loader featuring virtual digging and interaction with a simulated off-highway truck. The simulated training emphasizes best practices for skills assessment, skills development and refresher training for new and veteran operators alike. The instructional program segments training into a series of modules of increasing difficulty to train new operators in a step-by-step, measured sequence. The first module, controls familiarization teaches them to use the operator controls. Later modules, such as load and carry and truck loading with spotting, are designed to teach advanced skills that are vital to productive operations. A major feature of the simulation software’s instructional design is automatic measurement of key performance indicators pertaining to the productivity and quality of the simulated work. This feature enables trainers to assess the operator potential of training candidates and the rate of skills development. The Wheel Loader Personal Simulator supports both steering wheel steering and stick steering, and three kinds of USB-ready operator controls are offered: PC controls, consisting of low-cost, off-the-shelf input devices; replica controls, featuring industrial components; and OEM controls, comprising parts from actual loaders.
